A Security Framework for a Mobile Agent System
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper describes a distributed security infrastructure for mobile agents. The first property of the infrastructure is believability; this means that mechanisms are provided for authenticating information furnished by an agent. A second security property is survivability. This means that an agent computation can be programmed to survive attacks by malicious hosts on individual agents; this is achieved through encryption as well as agent replication and voting. The main feature of the infrastructure is that mobile agents are themselves used to enforce the security properties.

A Formal Petri Net Based Model for Antivirus Update Agent System
In this paper, a formal model for antivirus update agent system is presented based on mobile agent technology and predicate/transition Petri nets. The mobile agent system contains two mobile agents called DCA and UNA. It sends out agents to update antivirus on client computers in a network. Each agent takes on a specified responsibility. First, DCA roams through the network and check the last d...

The proposed framework applies two game theoretic models for economic deployment of intrusion detection system (IDS). The first scheme models and analyzes the interaction behaviors of between an attacker and intrusion detection agent within a non-cooperative game, and then the security risk value is derived from the mixed strategy Nash equilibrium. The second scheme uses the security risk value...
متن کاملAn XML Standards Based Authorization Framework for Mobile Agents
An outstanding security problem in mobile agent systems is resource access control, or authorization in its broader sense. In this paper we present an authorization framework for mobile agents. The system takes as a base distributed RBAC policies allowing the discretionary delegation of authorizations. A solution is provided to assign authorizations to mobile agents in a safe manner. Mobile age...
